BOYS FIND ^BANDED CHIMNEY SWIFT IN HAIGLAR CHIMNEY When exploring the chimney of the Haiglar Theatre Tuesday evening shortly after thousands of chimney swifts had settled therein for the night, Peter Bradley and Harry DavIb, employees of the water and light department, captured eleven of the birds. On one of the legs of one captured swift Bradley found a small metal tag which when placed under the microscope showed that' on one side were the numbers " '39-92403", while on the other was Inscribed "Notify Bioo Survey, Wash., D. C." Translated the tag records the year that the tag was affixed to the swift and also the number of the tag. The finder of t^he bird and tag Is requested to notify the Federal Biological Survey unit at Washington, D. C. Bradley stated that when he and Davis crawled Into the chimney at the top, the walls of the interior were covered with thousands of the swifts. In fact there was not room enough for them all on the walls and clusters of them, resembling big swarms of bees, were floating in the air In the chimney and clinging to one another. Tho presence of the two men did not appear to frighten the swifts and the eleven were captured, exani, ined and then released. "It looked as If there were a million birds in the chimney," said Brad- ley. "The walls of the chimney had been brushed as clean as if swept with a broom, this being due to the brushing of the birds as they circled down into the chimney." Uninformed persons and negroes have for years called these birds , "chimney sweeps." They circle near a chimney and then ttp8_whgle, Hack . head In a Tunnel" shape. They generally reach this section about this time of the year.
